At each of the centres a clinic is held, a woman Medical Officer
being in attendance once or twice weekly, as set out in the table on
the previous page.
Each centre is under the supervision of a trained Health Visitor
and voluntary helpers assist in the work of the centres. The
Voluntary Centres are conducted on similar lines to those of the
Municipal Centres.
The table on page 24 gives a summary of the work carried
out at the centres in 1933.
Health Visitors.
The Health Visiting Staff consists of 10 full time Health Visitors.
Two of these are partly employed as Women Sanitary Inspectors.
Facilities are granted by the Council to students of recognised
Training Bodies for practical instruction and training as Health
Visitors and Women Sanitary Inspectors. During the year eleven
students from the Hygiene Department, Battersea Polytechnic,
received a course of training under the Council's Maternity and
Child Welfare Scheme, and, on completion of their training, certificates
as to their work were supplied to the Polytechnic authorities.
